A Study on the Development of Logistics and
Supply Chain Professionals in Australia
David Rogers*, Park, Jung-sub**5)
The importance of logistics is increasing worldwide. With the development of the logistics industry, the number of students and
workers has increased. Due to the increase in world trade volume and the increase in logistics demand, many people are engaged
in logistics, and the logistics industry is growing steadily.
This paper deals with the current and future manpower securing the development of Australian logistics industry. From the
macroeconomic backgrounds of the economy, labor and trade associated with the Australian logistics industry, we have identified
the supply chain perception and future employment prospects for the logistics industry and have studied the capabilities and skills
required in supply chain management in response.
According to the data on the favorability of logistics, it is seen that students do not think that they are sexy compared to other
jobs, and career advisors also see trucks and warehouses. The reasons are low Wages and poor industrial image, increased aging
population, time and cost of acquiring qualifications and competition in organizations.
However, as the industry develops, it is expected to increase the number of skilled manpower related to logistics. We have
studied what kind of skills, knowledge and abilities are needed. This paper deals with the development of Australian logistics and
supply chain Professionals.

Abstract
세계적으로 물류의 중요성이 증대되고 있으며, 물류산업의 발전과 더불어 학생과 근로자의 수가 증가하였다. 세계적인 물동량의 증가와
물류수요의 증대로 인해 많은 사람들이 물류에 종사하게 되었고, 물류산업은 지속적으로 성장하고 있다. 본 논문은 호주의 물류에 대한 현
재와 미래의 인력확보와 산업발전에 따른 대응 전략을 연구하였다. 호주의 물류산업과 연관된 경제, 노동력 및 무역에 관한 거시적인 배경
에서부터 공급망에 대한 인식과 물류산업의 장래 고용전망을 알아보고 이에 대응하여 공급망관리에서 요구하는 능력과 기술에 대해 연구하
였다.
호주는 2017년 세계에서 13번째로 큰 경제 대국이며 호주의 노동력은 세계에서 가장 교육받고 다문화적이고 다국어를 구사하는 나라 중
하나이다. 호주의 근로자는 우수한 교육 시스템, 우수한 과학 연구 기관 및 전문 교육 서비스의 가용성으로 인해 고도로 숙련되어 있다.
이들을 대상으로 물류에 대한 호감도를 조사한 자료에 의하면 학생들이 다른 직업에 비해 섹시하지 않다고 생각하고 있고, 직업상담사들
도 트럭과 창고 분야를 그렇게 보기 때문에 공급망 이미지는 문제가 있다고 본다. 그 이유는 낮은 급여와 저평가된 산업 이미지, 노령인구
의 증가와 자격증 획득에 필요한 시간과 비용의 문제와 조직에서의 경쟁을 들었다.
그러나 산업의 발전에 따라 물류관련 전문인력의 증가가 예상되는데 앞으로 어떠한 기술과 지식과 능력을 갖춘 인재를 육성해야 하는지
에 대해서 연구하였다. 본 논문은 호주의 물류 및 공급망 전문가의 개발에 관한 연구이다.
